coltssb 1,044 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I know this is a Notre Dame site. But we discussed other things before. But I haven't heard any word from this forum on Star Wars. I know their are some nerds out there that love Star Wars. So, I'll start. What did you you guys think of the new trailer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome Jack 0 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Apparently it's getting blasted by critics as being very anti - white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketsan 768 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Apparently it's getting blasted by critics as being very anti - white. By critics you mean keyboard morons... I am super excited...I think it's going to wreck it... And without saying too much about you know who who was left off the poster being you know who...I think that's too easy to be feasible...I think he comes back to save another family member - you know who...from the Dark Side... Think I'm most excited about finally being able to take my kids to a legitimate Star Wars premiere. No sh!t, I've been tearing up thinking about it because of how Star Wars shaped me as a kid...

I am pretty excited about it too. The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite and I'm glad that Snow troopers will be in this one. I hope it lives up to expectations, unlike the last three pieces of garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they try to make a good movie this time and add special effects, rather than make special effects and try to add in a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishrush 60 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'm glad there are nerds on this board. Other than my family, the three most important things in my life are ND, Rush and Star Wars. Total nerd. I am super excited for the movie. Also will be able to take my girls who have also inherited all my likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieAngel 508 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I am excited and critics are stupid. It is easier to say something cutting and clever and then agree when everyone else jumps on the bandwagon. Way easier to point out what is "wrong" than support what is right. Whatever though, I love the trailer. I think it is going to be great. Hopefully it will get a a good balance of all of the exotic exposition (Different worlds, environments, etc...) with a good story, unlike the 3 origin movies, which were something, which is better than nothing in my book. Well, maybe not Phantom Menace. Anyways, excited. Star Wars is where I get to flex my Star Wars nerd muscles. Being a computer programmer around computer programmers all day, I don't get enough opportunities to let my freak flag fly. :sarcasm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishrush 60 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I've seen him. There was a nice interview with him by Dan Patrick in SI. For a Rush need like me, though, that is common knowledge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltssb 1,044 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Now this is what I'm talking about. Did you guys here the possibility of Finn(the girl) and Kylo Ren(the red light saber) may be brother and sister? Good vs evil. Brother vs sister. Now I don't really know if it's true but it sounds pretty cool. And what's going on with Luke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessemoore97 1,286 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Loved Star Wars growing up, Empire is my favorite of all the movies. Was seriously let down by the prequels, there was some good stuff but definitely not what I was expecting. I'm not sure what to make of the new movies, maybe because of the let down of the prequels and the fact that they aren't the originals. I know the original gang is in this one and all, but Vader is not and he was one of the most iconic movie villains of all time who helped shape the originals as much or more than anything else. You can't just slap a mask on someone and give them a red light-saber and expect them to walk into those shoes. Not only was the bad guy physically imposing and powerful, but you had the iconic voice of James Earl Jones completing the package. Will I go see the next trilogy? Yes, but they will never be the originals. I was also a big fan of some of the novels that came out after Jedi, namely Timothy Zahn's works, and really liked that timeline for what occurs in the years after Jedi. Now it's all erased by Disney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a regular...no bandwagon for him... He looks like Yoko Ono. He sounds like... Yoko Ono. I don't hate Rush, I usually won't turn it off as long as I only have to hear one song at a time. Still, him being any kind of sports fan that is not cricket surprises me and makes me like him more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishFan33 0 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 God, Family, ND Football, NY Yankees, Boston Celtics, Star Wars That's pretty much it.... Can't wait for this movie to come out... I've cried every trailer Yes i will be camping to be in the front of the line dressed as a Jedi Master 4,5,6 are Epic 1,2,3 had to be made the special part of 7 is that our guys are back, our original, the ones we grew up loving and quoting, the ones we dressed up as for Halloween it's going to be special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishrush 60 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 My kind of likes. I haven't kept up with the Yankees or Celtics Over the last several years, though. With wife and kids now I've found about the only open time I have is Saturday afternoon... I agree 1-3 had to be made to tell the story. I enjoyed them but cannot even come close to 4-6, with Empire being my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieAngel 508 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Heir to the Empire was my favorite book as a kid. Zahn did a great job. I thought they were a great take on the series as well. It was a good blend of Force / Jedi stuff and good old fashioned space stuff. I liked the Mara Jade character. The level of depth that is available in the Star Wars universe actually lends itself better to books than movies. I also thought the little force eating creatures and clones they brought into the Dark Force Rising series was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
